Question

Megan and Suzanne each have a plant. They track the growth of their plants for four weeks. Whose plant grew at a faster rate, and what was the rate?

Answer 1

Missing data is added in the picture.

Solution:

Case of Megan.

• 1st week: height = 4.5 inch
• 2nd week: height = 7 inch
• Rate of growth = (7 - 4.5) inch = 2.5 inch

Case of Suzanne.

• 1st week: height = 5 inch
• 2nd week: height = 7 inch
• Rate of growth = (7 - 5) inch = 2 inch

NOTE: We have taken only two points to find the rates of growth of plants because the common difference is same for respective growths in a week.

This shows that Megan's plan grows at a faster rate of 2.5 inch per week.

Megan’s at 2.5 inches per week
